Version 24.60 - Nov 2024

New Features
 

Fixes
Points Update When running Points Update on consecutive events, the Pax Points or Standard Deviation Points would clear the Prior Event points column inadvertently.  It is unclear when this issue started but a workaround was to update points from latest to prior events. 
This is fixed on this rev.

 Version 24.50 - October 2024

New Features
Lap Modes The Lapping mode has been enhanced to provide Off Course/Pit support so that cars can leave the track without interfering with the run sequences. 

The OFF penalty is used to signal a car that exited the track for whatever reason. It's runs will be flagged as OFF and the remaining cars may continue to lap without any issues.

NOTE: if cars are stuck somewhere on the track but in a safe area the OFF Penalty may still be used (your discretion).  Re-entering cars should never trip the Finish line.
Standard Deviation Modified the standard deviation calculations introduce better values for valid runs.

Penalty Settings allow you to specify a value for DNF runs (default: 999.000). For normal use, a 0.000 should be used so that DNF's are removed from the data set depending on your needs.  None 0.000 DNF values will skew the results significantly. 

Enhancements
Reports/Fun Statistics Enhanced the Gather Fun statistics to force the Delta time from each entrants runs into a Delta data field in the Registration/Standings grid, if that field is defined in the optional data columns.  If the field is not present the Fun Statistics Dialogue has the information and can be printed as desired.

Fixes
Session Mode When running Session Mode for your events, and with report based Live Timing enabled with structured results, the class pages were not always refreshed resulting in stale Live Timing data. This was a result of the Session Mode skipping over the 'class' specific results check.

 Version 24.40 - August 2024

New Features
   

Enhancements
Fun statistics
Cone Counts		 The cone counts did not always force the consolidation/accumulation of cones in the Membership file for all configurations. The cone columns in the membership were affected by the points settings since they are stuffed at the end of the points data columns. 

This version adopts and supports all the various configurations for points and provides an appropriate tally of the cones themselves.

FYI: there are not reports that currently use the Cone data for any reason.  To provide a report you must modify an existing report using the Print Templates for the desired report.  An explicit report may be added in the near future.

 Version 24.30 - July 2024

New Features
Lapping Mode

When in lapping mode (X cars, Y laps) and in single light operation:

  • Auto-Trip Lap function (right mouse button) can now be used to auto-trigger a lap for a car that was too close to the car in front and a lap time was ignored. This occurs due to the 'quiet' time for the sensors when a car is traveling past the beam. Under normal conditions this 'quiet' time is ~2.5secs to allow the car to pass completely through the sensor beam.  Lapping conditions can force cars to stack together and thus the 2nd car through the beams will be ignored if too close (under ~2.5 secs differential).
  • When the Auto-Trip Lap is executed, the system will record a lap time based on the car in front by a small differential.
  • The alternative is to cancel the entire group of cars and re-run the entire group. 
  • Note: when in lapping mode appropriate gaps should be retained between all vehicles so the quiet sensor time is never triggered. Cars running in a group should be fairly matched with respect to speeds so this is not an issue.

Passing is now permitted.  Right Mouse function - Passing Next Car is used to allow a pass condition. The pass function is used to force the timing data to stay with the proper vehicle.  If the pass is ignored the lap times will be out of sequence with the cars on track.

  • The Passing function is executed on the Passing vehicle. 
  • Both the Passing vehicle and the Passed Vehicle will swap rows further down in the staging grid to retain the new order of vehicles on tack.

Enhancements
Style Sheets for reports The style sheets are automatically checked to make certain they exist in your data folder. Prior versions could bypass this check.
You may also force the Style Sheets (*.css) files to be copied from the Install Folder to your data folder by going to the HTML Settings and pressing the "Copy Style Sheets..." button.

Fixes
Live Timing Settings For FTP Live Timing, the Results Location was also checked and if blank would result in a warning.  That warning did not cause any side affects but for FTP settings it was not necessary.
Lapping Mode
Timing ON/OFF		 When in lapping mode and the timing interface is turned off and back on. The Threshold Windows were not set properly if active timers were running when turned off.

 Version 24.20 - May 2024

New Features
Cones Counts

Cone counts have been added to Event and Membership Points Control.

  • Cone counts are consolidated into the Membership file for drivers for an overall Cone King award for the season.
  • Cone counts are saved in the Membership file similarly to the Points and are consolidated on an event basis.
  • Events accumulate the cone counts only through Export and Points Update functions and are saved to the Membership.

Enhancements
   

Fixes
Clear Points Clearing Points menu option was not always active.  The setting was based on a default points setting but is now managed from Membership File.
BarCoding + Unique Membershiup Numbers When inserting new registration or membership entries, if using Copy+Insert to create a 2nd entry from an existing entry, the verification of the Membership Number was skipped even after changing  the Class and or Pax class. This affected the Barcode values as well as the Membership Uniqueness. If this condition is found, the Membership Number and Bar Code will be reset to "*" to force a new # to be enttered.


 Version 24.10 - Jan 2024

New Features
2024 Season Maintenance release for 2024 and future updates.

Enhancements
   

Fixes
Print Points If the Settle Ties is checked and the Print Points/YEP Points is selected, the side headings for position are not properly set. The work around was to click on the Total Points or Points W/Drops, then try to Print Points.
